More About Covalent
Covalent Metrology’s mission is to level the playing field and ensure clients of all sizes can access outstanding data generated quickly and cost-effectively. High-quality experimental data is the lifeblood of any successful program. Too many companies operate blindly without critical data because the proper tool is not available in-house, and sending samples out to service labs can be slow, frustrating, and expensive. Data generated in-house can be unreliable or imprecise if tools are not correctly calibrated, are obsolete, in disrepair, or not properly operated.
Covalent’s Analytical Services and Metrology Partners units are open for business and on a mission to provide and enable better, faster, and cheaper data for every client. Covalent now has over 500 customers in 20+ industries, and a new 24,000 ft lab in Sunnyvale, CA houses >$10M in state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation.
